I've said it before, but I'll say it again, the best whiskey I have ever tasted.

Love the enthusiasm Joe! Do you have a preference on any releases of the 2012? I have the 133.2 and am obviously quite pleased

My gaga-ness has only been on the 1st release, the 131.6, as it's the only one I've had. Really glad to hear that you're enjoying the 2nd. Others seem to have, also. When I see it, I'll be picking it up.

Wandered in to Mac McGee's for dinner with a couple of friends. Along with the Shepherd's Pie we all tried the whiskley flight that evening which consisted of Michael Collins 10yo, Ben Riach 12 and Larceny.

For me the Michael Collins was the winner with Larceny a close second. Just wasn't feeling the scotch. Despite that not sure I would add the Michael Collins to my bar. With a touch of smoke it was more scotchy than the scotch (which was a light Speyside malt that was supposed to have a touch of smoke but was mostly honey) even though I know that not all scotch has to be peaty. This one was just a little too plain vanilla.

That yella whiskey runnin' down my throat like honey dew vine water and I took another slash…
